My map doesn't appear on Discover

Summary

I published my map on December 5, uploaded an update in December 6, it’s December 7 and my map didn’t appeared on Discover yet, neither in the “New in UEFN” tab, nor in the “New and Updated” tab, nor in any other tab.

Apparently, all the players I’m receiving are from my posts on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit.

I can assure you it’s not a similarity restriction issue, as my map is an original idea that creatively utilizes the new UEFN physics as a central gameplay factor.

I also want to highlight that the session time metrics are excellent, with an average playtime of approximately 36 minutes and an maximum playtime of 48 minutes. It’s good to remind that this map has rounds of (up to) 3 minutes, which highlights the “value” of this retention.

Could someone help me solve my problem? I truly love and believe in this project and need urgent help.

Thank you for your attention! :slight_smile:

Here’s some metrics about session playtime.

It’s good to note that the map has this session playtime being played 45 times till the time I’m reading this message, so it’s a pretty good statistic.

Discovery has been broken since they introduced sponsored row,

Top?

Creator Search? Found

Seems to be found loads of runs, Matchmakes, Ping times good, Searches by name, fixed

Not a tool Bug!

The only main change is that when you click Play, it picks the last island instead of the box to put the island number.

Need to scroll down to find the number box! “Search Discovery”, but searches by Creator name and Island name, which is a great improvement

If you are on a phone, scrolling down is hard. XB1, NS1, and PC all have buttons/keys

It’s a shame to see this kind of bug happening right in the middle of the Christmas season, anyway, let’s wait and see. Thanks :slight_smile:

Im not sure its a bug though, this pushes the price of the new sponsored row up stuff that doesnt effect them tend to take a long time to be taken serious.

Having the same issue for 2 maps (and probably 3 soon) for over 2-weeks now. See issue here Brand New Map Not Going Into Discover & Not Been Tested in Discover Yet - #3 by Belastrah and here REPORT: New Map Not Going In Discover and here New Map Is not Going Into Discover Even After 4 Days While Spam Maps Get Discover Time - #14 by Belastrah as well.

When I first reported the issue 14 days ago via New Map Is not Going Into Discover Even After 4 Days While Spam Maps Get Discover Time - #14 by Belastrah the ticket was closed promptly by epic team stating it was not an issue.

Hope this issue gets resolved soon as new maps are not seeing any Discover time anymore. While article How Discover Works clearly states:
